Why He Doubted.

“Jasper,” said Mrs. Grigson, who was looking over the morning paper, “here’s a story of a woman who was robbed on a street car in broad daylight, and yet the thief got away unsuspected." Mr. Grigson said that he had seen the item, but that it was either a typographical error or else the story was pure invention. - "Why do you say that?” asked his wife.

"hook at the item again. It says her purse contained a hundred dollars in currency, doesn't it?" “Yes.”

"It says there was also a receipted bill for a flve-dollar hat, does It not?” "Yes.”

"Well, no woman with a hundred dollars in cash In her possession would buy a five dollar hat”—Youth's Companion.
